Arroyo didn't catch his only target in Sunday's 44-13 win over the Saints.

Arroyo played 50 percent of the offensive snaps, his highest mark of the year. There's no indication that he's encroaching on AJ Barner's workload at this point, but if the trend continues in Thursday's matchup versus the Cardinals, it will be worth keeping an eye on.

Barner caught his lone target for 23 yards in Sunday's 44-13 win over the Saints.

Barner played just 52 percent of the offensive snaps while rookie Elijah Arroyo handled 50 percent, but the split was likely due to the blowout nature of the game rather than a changing of the guard at Seattle's tight-end position. A fourth-round pick in 2024, Barner has produced four receptions for 49 yards through three games this season.

Kmet caught his only target for a 10-yard touchdown in the Bears' 31-14 win over the Cowboys on Sunday.

Although Kmet plays more snaps than rookie teammate Colston Loveland, he has just seven targets and four receptions over the first three games. However, with 29 and 31 yards in two of those three games to go with Sunday's touchdown, the veteran tight end may be carving out a consistent, low-volume role in the Chicago passing attack.

Okonkwo recorded five receptions (on six targets) for 66 yards in Sunday's 41-20 loss to the Colts.

Okonkwo paced the Titans in targets, receptions and yards and continues to show rapport with Cam Ward. His longest catch of the day came on the team's opening possession, when he recorded a gain of 22 yards to set up a field goal. Okonkwo has four catches and six targets in each of his last two games, leading to a 12-120-0 line on 16 targets to begin the season.

Ferguson recorded 13 receptions on 14 targets for 82 yards in Sunday's 31-14 loss to the Bears.

Ferguson commanded double-digit targets for the second consecutive week, though he was aided by the absence of CeeDee Lamb (ankle) in Sunday's loss. Ferguson was targeted exclusively in the short areas of the field, with his longest gain of the day going for only 12 yards. While his showings haven't been particularly explosive, Ferguson has a key role in the Dallas offense and has topped 75 receiving yards in consecutive contests.

Kelce brought in four of seven targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 22-9 win over the Giants.

Kelce took a back seat to Kansas City's starting trio of receivers on Sunday Night Football, all three of which finished with more yards than the star tight end. Backup tight end Noah Gray even got in on the action, finishing with a season high three catches in the win. Kelce would gladly trade a personal down game for the team's first win, but fantasy managers have to feel underwhelmed with Sunday's results. Kelce will look to be more involved in a potentially higher-scoring affair against the Ravens next Sunday.

Goedert recorded one reception on two targets for 33 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 33-26 win over the Rams.

Goedert returned from a one-game absence and was the odd-man out on a strong offensive day for the Eagles. He did manage to make his lone reception of the day count by hauling in a 33-yard touchdown early in the third quarter as he split the Rams' defense down the middle of the field. Though it's come in very different ways, Goedert has had a productive start to the season after tallying seven catches in Week 1.

Johnson finished with six receptions on eight targets for 51 yards in Sunday's 44-13 loss to the Seahawks.

Johnson continued his early-season surge with another strong PPR effort despite his team suffering yet another loss. The veteran tight end has been an early surprise in fantasy, racking up 19 receptions on 29 targets for 176 yards and a touchdown through three contests. Johnson has quickly become a must-start option at such a shallow fantasy position heading into next Sunday's road tilt against the Bills.

Warren recorded three receptions on five targets for 38 yards in Sunday's 41-20 win over the Titans.

Daniel Jones targeted his pass catchers evenly, as Warren was one of four players with between four and six targets. He had the worst statistical day of his rookie season given the lack of volume, though he did manage long gains of 15 and 17 yards. Warren's weekly production may vary while competing for targets with Michael Pittman, Josh Downs and Alec Pierce, but he has already established himself as one of the more reliable fantasy tight ends.

Hockenson brought in five of six targets for 49 yards and a touchdown in the Vikings' 48-10 win over the Bengals on Sunday.

The veteran tight end had put together a quiet first two games of the season, mustering just a 4-27-0 line on seven targets. However, Hockenson tied for the team lead in receptions Sunday while checking in second in both receiving yards and targets as he worked with Carson Wentz for the first time. Hockenson also got into the end zone for the first time in 2025 on a five-yard grab late in the third quarter, and he's slated to operate with Wentz as his quarterback again in next Sunday's Week 4 matchup against the Steelers in Dublin, Ireland, since J.J. McCarthy (ankle) is expected to remain sidelined for that contest.
